Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membranes are applied in different industrial sectors thanks to their low-energy consumption, mild operating conditions, possibility of being integrated with other membranes and conventional production/separation processes, as well as the easy scale-up in the logic of the process intensification. Thanks to these peculiarities, membranes have also been already successfully used in environmental applications. In addition to well-established membrane operations, new ones have been developed, giving the possibility of enlarging the applicative spectrum of membrane units. Moreover, the design, development, and production of novel membranes are also a key point for enhancing the performance of membrane systems. This has to be made[DM1] also taking in consideration a more sustainable route in making them start from “greener solvent and/or polymer”.
This Special Issue will highlight the importance of the Membrane preparation and their Environmental Applications. It welcomes both original contributions and reviews related to membrane preparation and their applications, mainly for desalination, drinking water production, water and wastewater treatment, Volatile Organic Compounds removal from aqueous or gas streams, CO2 removal, production and recovery of high-added products from wastewater.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Membranes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
